What happens to my pets when I'm Raptured?

This amusing service hit the news this week:

It's a company that offers to take care of your pet when the Rapture comes. All caretakers are guaranteed to be atheists who have done something to insure they won't be "taken up with the Lord" and hence will be available to care for your pet.

Your pets are going to die during the Tribulation.

But all dogs go to heaven, right?

^ Nice one.

The rapture was never really part of the Book of Revelations. The early Christians who lived at the time of the apostles believed that Christ would return in their lifetimes. It's been 2000 years and it still hasn't happened. Since it doesn't Book of Revelations to begin with, that's a moot point anyway.

Some would claim that all Christians believe the same thing. A review of this article on the Rapture shows that it's not quite so uniform:

Only a few centuries ago, people fought major wars over disagreements like this.

There is not going to be any "rapture". That idea is just something somebody dreamed up a century or two ago. And, "left behind" is actually a good thing ... and we will see who is still standing after the smoke from the destruction of all evil clears.

Ruveyn: Am I even close?

You aren't going to be taken up at all, because only the Aryans are worthy.

Just joking.

How long are people supposed to have to prepare for the rapture? If I signed up for this, and my pet was locked away some where when I was raptured, how would the rescuers find my pet?

I guess that my ghost would have to come back and point the way.

Anyway, all that I have are fish. As long as I put in some vacation feeders just before I was raptured, they might last until I came back after the tribulations.

Wasn't this whole concept of rapture invented in the 19th century?

Exactly. Only in the USA people.
